Bug Description
the feature to overwrite free disk space is useful, but can cause instability when used on a running system, as other processes will encounter write errors during the period in which the disk is completely full. it would be helpful if there were an option to overwrite all but (x) megabytes, so that there will be room for basic operations on an active system to continue without error.
on the command line, this could look something like:
bleachbit --clean system.

That makes sense. The recommendation is to stop all running processes, but with background services this can be difficult to achieve.
